    and then ....

    • that what i mean. there is no reason for that guy to be a star. he asked a basic broad question an answer like i think innovation _ future _ good would answer.
      ********
    • this saves omg from posting that image heremoldero
    • and yet there is content like your image posted clearly out of context to drive mindless content. is it organic, is it media outlets and trend reports?

    • you think a simple question like why would bill be mad would trigger a BS detector to go off. is it just filling a void. i dont get it
      ********
    • i don't get what the big deal is with Ken Bone. He asked a question. whats the big deal?
      ********
    • he looks funny. thats it. People are stupid and latch on to anything outside of the norm. Zzzzzz...sofakingback
    • i never considered his looks. i get chic not impressed meme, but this one seemed different, and maybe that was do to a quasi media spin treating meme as news

    • bwaha...cmon man can't believe you're defending this. It's just predatory criminal behavior by a big bank.yuekit
    • And of course they should have had internal checks to prevent this....CEO ultimately responsible.yuekit
    • he is ultimately responsible, but likely did not know. and the 185m hit + 5m payback should be reflected in his pay.
      ********
    • but seriously if you have ever worked in one of thsoe jobs you know exactly how its low level employee stuff. look into best buy employees and warranties

    • 400k cost them 190m. they paid. the rest is warren posturing and pissed about not heading CFPB. its a political career move for her
      ********
    • There had to be, at some level, complicity by higher level people. Unlike Home Depot example where there is no paper trailyuekit

    Putin Ally Tells Americans: Vote Trump or Face Nuclear War

    http://www.nbcnews.com/news/worl…

  • Ramanisky24

    http://people.com/politics/donal…

    Then, in December 2005, around the time Trump had his now infamous conversation with Billy Bush, I traveled to Mar-a-Lago to interview the couple for a First Wedding Anniversary feature story.
    
Our photo team shot the Trumps on the lush grounds of their Florida estate, and I interviewed them about how happy their first year of marriage had been. When we took a break for the then very-pregnant Melania to go upstairs and change wardrobe for more photos, Donald wanted to show me around the mansion. There was one “tremendous” room in particular, he said, that I just had

    We walked into that room alone, and Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat.
Now, I’m a tall, strapping girl who grew up wrestling two giant brothers. I even once sparred with Mike Tyson. It takes a lot to push me. But Trump is much bigger—a looming figure—and he was fast, taking me by surprise, and throwing me off balance.
I was stunned. And I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.
    The butler informed us that Melania would be down momentarily, and it was time to resume the interview. I was still in shock, and remained speechless as we both followed him to an outdoor patio overlooking the grounds. In those few minutes alone with Trump, my self-esteem crashed to zero. How could the actions of one man make feel so utterly violated?  I’d been interviewing A-list celebrities for over 20 years, but what he’d done was a first. Did he think I’d be flattered?

    I tried to act normal. I had a job to do, and I was determined to do it. I sat in a chair that faced Trump, who waited for his wife on a loveseat. The butler left us, and I fumbled with my tape recorder. Trump smiled and leaned forward.
“You know we’re going to have an affair, don’t you?” he declared, in the same confident tone he uses when he says he’s going to make America great again. “Have you ever been to Peter Luger’s for steaks? I’ll take you. We’re going to have an affair, I’m telling you.” He also referenced the infamous cover of the New York Post during his affair with Marla Maples. “You remember,” he said. “Best Sex I Ever Had.”

    Lots of headlines about russia and trump today....

    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/2…

    Can't technically be proven that the money was paid for a favor (why foundations work, and on a side note perhaps we should get rid of non-profits and such. No such thing, might also help people see the business in religion), but without any other motive it doesn't quite make sense...

    Hard to tell really what motivates her. Power, and money. Am I not privy to any other politician that has a foundation on the side stackin so much paper? I cannot honestly say who I think is a worse potus candidate. Cold half-calculated no fucks given if i get mine central planner, or a special kind of stupid blowhard that really really needs attention and probably wants to look like a central planner but really just wants photo ops and ribbon cuttings and a sexy intern to compliment him every 15 minutes, one he can say hey bill she hotter than monica, im cool... Only thing I know is i'm ready for it to be over. The news isnt entertaining. its sickening. it bums me out. Get that out the way, and get locals out of the way where i'll probably get fucked harder. and back to sports bloopers and dumb entertaining memes....
